Our Original Ale was launched in 2013. Described as “Light golden with a small, off-white head and effervescent during pouring, the hops on the nose are punchy and earthy with light apricot fruit. The hops turn piney and slightly spicy on the palate, with the apricot taste cutting through, but work well with the juicy malt…”

Azacca, Challenger and Sovereign hops, the last of which were grown on the Ventnor botanical gardens. Near clear gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and with good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts but with a reasonable amount of sweetness. The hop trio delivers a largely English hop vibe, a nice one though, minty pine, floral bitterness, woody citrus and more that is hard to pick apart, Azacca a bit lost. Finishes light and crisp. Nice bright English bitter with good English hop edge.

500ml bottle bought at a local store in Ryde, IoW. Shared at a session with lmojoh and Finn. Steady, bubbly white head, clear golden-brown body, clingy lacing. Herbal hops and grainy aroma. Mixed taste profile of herbs, grass, and grain. Mid-dry fruity ending, rounded mouth feel. Decent stuff. (Tromsø 15.12.2022).
